I again did a Rice Wholesale-Retail Business Plan per request of a Cavitena (Filipina). It’s not a “pwede na yan” or copy-paste thing as I immersed, researched a lot and did actual field interviews. Most of the request came from OFW as they can use it to loan capital at OWA.

I can now provide a more detailed and updated Rice Wholesale-Retail Business Plan

Like what I did for other requesting party, I made it as realistic as possible and tailored made, reader friendly and you can already start with your business as there are step by step guide and pricing.

If you are going to pursue your desired business, I need to ask where are you base and where do you intend to establish your Rice Trading business?

I ask because the location is important. Price also fluctuates regularly.

Most who earlier requested are OFW as they are using it to acquire loan at OWA. I also receive request from Foreigners. Are you an OFW?

My Business Plan are far different from works of other maker (“tumbok mo agad through a step by step guide how to start right away. Kita mod din agad ang expenses and income as I did field research and actual operation study). I also visited miller suppliers plan and study variety sample as shown photos.

I won’t pretend to know it all but I have more than enough experience for your requirement.

Other requests in the past are are as follows:

Moringa Cultivation and Processing Feasibility and Business Plan

Cavendish Banana Farming and Export Potential

Software and Hardware Development

There’s more

My arts is non-traditional. This time, I am desiring for a craft that is also a potential business:

Birds House

Miniature Toy House

Cabinet House

Other related

They maybe old fashioned but this kind of craft are close to the heart of people, especially the children and promote values. As such, there is a market for these and if given the fund grant, it will take a long way in terms of income and return on investment.

Yes, machine made Christmas decors from China are cheaper but handcrafted are still prefer by many as they are natural and heartwarming. If given the chance, I intend to establish a store for such soon. If I will be supported by a grantee or investor, online shop is also possible.

I do not claim ownership to the actual designs and photos. Images are excerpted.

I am more of an entrepreneur now than an artist. Come to think of it, I was able to established an export-trading business through just capitalizing on my skills and experience in the arts, corporate admin and basic international exposure. I am willing to offer my services to those who need it:

Feasibility Study (my work has been requested in Asia, African countries and selected European countries for years now)

Unfortunately, today is the last day (19 February 2011). Kindly just inquire to the organizers for upcoming schedules or wait for further announcements.

Seeing how the event was handled, in my own personal opinion the totality of the event was somehow ok. I can even compare it to what I saw in Singapore the last time I’ve been there (somehow similar to what I saw in Suntec). I guess, other countries with same same standard as Singapore has similar type of handling. I just noticed that the event is not free to visitors, although the entrance fee is only minimal and very affordable. Nonetheless, below are some of my observations:

SMX Convension Near and within the compound of same globally competitive Mall of Asia (tourist friendly and accessible to other facilities, restaurants and stores)

Relaxing as the Mall is near the sea with lots of amenities to enjoy after visiting the exhibit halls. It is even near to affordable hotels.

Highly accessible and near Philippine main airport

At the exhibit area…

Guam’s place is one of crowd’s favorite because they don’t just rely on their backdrop to present. They brought with them some of their young ones that showcased one of their folk dance. They even invited viewers to dance with them so there is a feeling of connections between them and the prospects and the crowd loved it. This add flavors to their way of inviting tourist to go to their country.

Above photo is part of Thailand’s booth. They adapt a type cultural presentation by way of showing to passers by the way Thai’s paint their beautiful umbrellas. I believe they gave some small painted umbrellas to patrons. Another is by way of showing how they intricately curve selected fruits as shown below…

I also noticed that Thailand’s booth offer massage… something they are famously known for, aside from agriculture and medical tourism.

China Booth (above and below)

Malaysia’s booth is eye catchy as their backdrops is a clear large image of their country’s modern symbol… the Petronas Twin tower. Another attraction is their free cup of delicious Malaysia coffee… simple yet a sort of a shadow of how tourist are welcome in their country. Now I know why are there so many tourist that visits Malaysia every year.

India’s Booth. Simple but truly a glimpse India as the backdrop speaks for itself. They even give magazines and booklets aside from brochures.

Kenya… truly Safari Africa

There’s more and I could not post all the photos as they are too many (e.g. Singapore, Japan, European Countries, etc.)

Let me now focus on Philippines…

My apology but Philippines’ presentation is not as enticing and attractive as the others. Philippines is definitely WOW as a tourist destination but the WOW factor seems lacking… clear presentation of Filipino culture, breath taking natural view, awesome beaches, one of a kind culture, delicious cuisines, festive events, and many more. This nation is considered the center of the center in terms of marine bio diversity and globally renowned personality whom can surely attracts tourist if ask to endorse Philippine Tourism (e.g. Many Pacquio, Cory Aquino, Lea Salonga, Charice Pempengco, Batista, etc.). This requires more than props. It requires art with a heart and eye moving presentation that entice not just the eyes but also their appetite, the tourist imagination, excitement and most especially what Filipinos are known all over the world… hospitality. We need to put more of our heart into this business to be more competitive. If I may, I am willing to help like what I created (still in its concept stage)…

I saw a site wherein Top 10 Beaches are named as the best in the world.

Clifton Beach, Capetown, South Africa

Pink Sands Beach, Harbor Island, the Bahamas

Larvotto Beach, Monte Carlo, Monaco

Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii

South Beach, Miami, Florida

Paradise Beach, Mykonos, Greece

Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia

Maroma Beach, Yucatan, Mexico

Anse Source D’Argent, La Digue, Seychelles

As I read and view the photos, the beaches seem nice. I just wonder why not even one beach from South East Asia was chosen.

Philippines is now considered by renowned marine scientist as the “Center of the Center” for marine biodiversity. How in a world Philippines became the center of the center yet not one of its beaches is not included even on the least of the top 10? I ask because the beaches are the main issue here. Isn’t it that the word “beach” pertains primarily to the body of water and the natural formations and living organism underneath? Isn’t it the second focus is the natural formation of land and sand above sea level?

Let me show you some of Philippines’ beaches. Better if you visit them yourself to experience real paradise.

Check and compare yourself…

You ain’t seen nothin yet!

Visit the Philippines beaches and you won’t believe what you will see! To see is to believe!

You may be disappointed with Philippines’s infrustructure upon your arrival as it is not as developed compared to other countries. But the experience is worth the trip. Philippine world class beaches are truly awesome beyond words to express. They are literally paradise.
